Rainey Boateng, LCSW

Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of professional experience. She uses practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction issues, and the emotional fallout from trauma. Her approach centers on clear, doable steps so clients can make steady progress.

She mixes evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. That means combining skills work with deeper conversations about attachment and values. Sessions often include tools for coping with mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms, and strategies for improving self-esteem and relationships.

Rainey has worked across many care settings and with adults at different life stages. Her background includes helping people facing caregiving strain, cancer-related stress, challenges after adoption or foster care, and the practical impacts of aging. She also supports people dealing with substance use, codependency, and the stresses of major life changes.

Therapy with her typically focuses on building skills you can use between sessions. Expect an emphasis on identifying what matters to you, learning emotion regulation and distress-tolerance techniques, and practicing communication skills. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on real-life problems.

Rainey practices in Utah and offers services in English. She is comfortable supporting people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT concerns and those coping with trauma and longstanding anxiety. To start, clients follow the site matching process to connect and schedule an initial meeting.

How these approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps. It helps with anxiety, stress, and managing life changes by focusing on action tied to personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood swings. It often uses homework and skill practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early connections shape reactions; it can help with relationship concerns, trauma responses, and building more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then tailor methods together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on skills training, values work, or relational patterns during online meetings.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time.
